I use PMS in archlinux and up to version 0.99 it worked perfect for me. Since version 1.00 my PS3 just does not see the Media Server anymore.In trace everything seems fine, it says it gets a request from the ip of my PS3, then it sends a DISCOVER signal back, but alas. PMS does see my PS3 instantly.I have tried different ports, i forwarded every port in my router. UPNP is on. When i run PMS on my laptop (windows) all is fine. On arch there is no firewall, i opened up hosts.deny to allow everything.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks very much.

I've only started using PMS from version 1.02.1 but when I tried running in my FreeBSD platform my PS3 could not see it either. When I first tried I didn't have Mplayer or ffmpeg installed but someone said this would not matter. Anyway I decided to isntall ffmpeg and once I did that PMS worked fine. So there must have been a dependecy on one of those pagackes that was not being picked up in the debug log.

EnvironmentI'm running PMS v1.03 on Kubuntu 8.04 in a switched gigabyte network. My PC has a static DHCP 192.168.1.2 address, whereas my PS3 has a varying DHCP address (192.168.1.*). I've installed Virtualbox on my PC, and so the ifconfig command lists the vnet0 network interface in addition to loopback lo and eth0. vnet0 is on a different 192.168.122.* subnet, and to ensure PMS uses the correct subnet I've configured it to always use eth0.I also tried specifying the IP address, but I always get the same...

SymptomsIt seems that in order for PMS to show in the XBC, I must power on the PS3 first, then run PMS. If the PS3 powers down (I use the power saving feature) or I turn it off, then simply turning it on again is not enough. I also need to restart PMS as well.
